U.S. International Trade Commission Requests Public Comments on Vehicle Telematics Investigation


Estimated reading time: 3–4 minutes

On September 12, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced a request for public comments as part of Investigation No. 337-TA-1393. This investigation involves certain vehicle telematics, fleet management, and video-based safety systems and devices.

A Final Initial Determination on Violation was issued by the presiding administrative law judge on September 8, 2025. The determination included recommendations on possible remedies and bonding if a violation is found. The ITC is now asking for comments on public interest issues related to these recommendations.

The recommended remedies are a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order. These would apply to certain vehicle telematics, fleet management, and video-based safety systems, devices, and components imported, sold for importation, or sold after importation by Motive Technologies Inc.

The ITC is seeking public comments covering the following topics:

  • How the products that might be excluded are used in the United States.
  • Any concerns about public health, safety, or welfare in the United States related to the recommended orders.
  • Other similar products made in the United States that could replace the products that might be excluded.
  • Whether the complainant or others can supply enough replacement products within a reasonable time.
  • The potential impact on U.S. consumers if the recommended orders are issued.

Submissions can be up to five pages long, including attachments. The deadline for submissions is the close of business on October 9, 2025.

All documents must be filed electronically. They should clearly refer to “Inv. No. 337-TA-1393” on the cover or first page. For details on how to file, the ITC’s Handbook for Electronic Filing Procedures is available online. Those with questions about filing can contact the Secretary at (202) 205-2000.

Persons submitting confidential documents must mark them properly and may also need to file non-confidential versions for public inspection. Confidential material will be handled as outlined in ITC rules. All non-confidential documents will be available to the public.

For further information, contact Paul Lall at the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-2043. Publicly available documents can also be viewed via the Commission’s electronic docket at https://edis.usitc.gov.

This process follows Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and part 210 of the Commission’s rules. The ITC will consider the public interest before making final decisions about the exclusion or limitation of these products.
